Comment on About Me by NTSSUG Board of Directors

NTSSUG Board of Directors — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:21:35 +0000

[...] HomeAbout Me Vote NTSSUG BoD August 20, 2010 Ryan Adams No commentsThe North Texas SQL Server User Group currently has an open position on their board of directors. I am eager to serve the SQL community and very excited to have the opportunity to run in this election. If you follow my blog I need your support. Below is a little information on my involvement in the SQL community, why I want to be on the BoD, and most importantly how you can vote for me!Community InvolvementI have been an active NTSSUG participant for about 2.5 years. I was a core team member for SQLSaturday 35 and handled the coordination of benefits for our sponsors after Jennifer McCown (Blog|Twitter) brought them on board. I also organized all of the volunteers for the day of the event. I post all of our meetings on communitymegaphone.com so they get listed in the MSDN newsletter. I have also created and maintain a LinkedIn group for NTSSUG and post our meetings on the DFWITProfessionals.com website to help increase our exposure and expand our group. In addition, I actively blog and participate with the online community through Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Most recently I am serving on the core team for SQLSaturday BI Edition, and I am also serving on the organizing committee for SQLSaturday Houston. As a follow-up to SQL Saturday 35 I setup Confio to be our sponsor for the month of August. Lastly as another follow-up to my involvement with SQL Saturday 35 I secured a very special speaker for our January meeting. I can tell you that you will not want to miss this meeting so clear your calendar now. For more hints of what’s coming see Tim Mitchell’s (Blog|Twitter) blog post HERE. If you are interested in my professional background you can view my BIO on my About Me page.WhyI would be honored to be on the NTSSUG board. This group has helped me and my career in many ways from meeting professional contacts to top notch technical training. I want to give back to the group by being instrumental in providing others all the things this group has afforded me. I am a firm believer in the SQL community where there is no comparison for professionalism, a network of people willing to lend a hand, and a comradeship that cannot be matched. I believe I would be a great board member as I am highly motivated, extremely organized, and very passionate about the SQL community. I want to search out opportunities and ways to grow our group into a premier chapter of SQLPass.How to VoteWe’ve had some issues with our mailing list lately so here is the email with instructions on how you can vote.Dear Members,Thank you all for participating in this important process to elect another Member to the North Texas SQL Server User Group Board.If you are hearing about this election for the first time, information on this special election can be found here.http://northtexas.sqlpass.org/NTSSUGBoardVacancy/tabid/3031/Default.aspxVoting Procedures1.
